Micro-line is a small diameter, low-density polyethylene dripline. The dripline emitters have a cylindrical design with a long turbulent flow path and an inlet filter to prevent particles from entering the drip emitter labyrinth. The Micro-line dripline inline emitters are inserted and welded to the interior wall of the polyethylene micro tubing in a preset spacing making it suitable for use in a wide range of applications.
Features:
- Used for above or below the surface or under mulch for a variety of applications such as containers and narrow plantings
- Large labyrinth water passage and turbulent flow help reduce clogging
- Inlet filter helps to prevent particles from entering the drip emitter labyrinth path
- Two (2) outlets per dripper ensure less chance of clogging
- Resistant to chemicals and fertilizers commonly used in landscape applications
- Used with 1/4" (5 mm) barbed fitting
- Flexible tubing for easy installation
- Made of low-density, UV-resistant, 7510 polyethylene Fingerprint™ resins
